Former Deputy Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George, on Thursday, blasted former Osun State governor, Chief Bisi Akande, over his autobiography ‘My Participation,’ saying the book should be conscripted into the dustbin as it contained fallacies, inaccurate and, therefore, not good for present and future consumptions.
Akande had in his autobiography claimed that acting Leader of pan-Yoruba sociopolitical group, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, pressurised former governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is also the National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), to build the Lekki home for him, and also lampooned erstwhile President Olusegun Obasanjo in the book.
George gave the condemnation while welcoming the Convener, Lagos 4Lagos Movement, Dr Abdul Azeez Adediran aka Jandor, and his teeming supporters to his office in Ikoyi, just as he described the contents of the autobiography as capable of creating crisis within the Yoruba race.
But the PDP chieftain, who is also the Atona Oodua, appealed to stakeholders across Yoruba Land to disregard Akande’s claim in the book, saying the contents of the autobiography is not good for the consumption of future generations of Yoruba children.
This was just as George narrated how Akande ran to Obasanjo for assistance during the Ife/Modakeke War in Osun State when he (Akande) was governor and through the intervention of the former president, a permanent solution was found to the crisis till date.
The former PDP national deputy chairman faulted Akande for vilifying Adebanjo and Obasanjo, whereas he (Akande) failed to speak on the alleged corruption of his friend, Tinubu.
